a.MvaW. vihich deponent was. Deponent states that the white man came forward in the canoe, and that deponent took 'old of his hand, but could not grasp it firmly ; that the black took hold of the white man's legs, and pulled him back into the canoe. The white man then said Lower the boat a little further down, and I can jump into it. The deponent called this out to the captain, who was upon the poop, and who immediately ordered the boat to be further lowered down. The canoe immediately pulled Away, but remained near the vessel a full hour at least after wards. The canoe then pulled in shore, and returned with out the white man. Deponent verily believes that the white man never mentioned the Charles Eaton at all, but that this was only a surmise on the part of the crew of the _Mangles. Deponent states most positively that the above conversation was all that passed between the white man and himself. Deponent further states that he was in the boat that pulled ashore with the Captain. Deponent saw no white man nor white woman ; saw no white legs under a scre'en ; saw some black women, who turned their backs uwan being looked at. He saw the white child, as de scribed. He states that the ship remained one night more at anchor ; that she left about nine o'clock, A.M., on the third day. Saw no canoes from the shore that day, and that no communication was that day attempted with the shore." The LORD MAYOR said that all agreed in the opinion that no credit could be given to that part of Anderson's statement which differed from the representations made by the Captain and all the witnesses examined. Captain Carr said that he was most desirous to obtain the fullest intelligence for the friends of the unfortunate passengers and crew, and would, if required, produce as many more of the crew as they might wish to see. He stated he could not see what motive Anderson could have had for interlarding his statement with falsehoods, for that person was a good, and sober, and steady seaman. The LORD MAYOR said that he felt happy in affording all the facilities that could be rendered in the present state of the intelligence with respect to this lamentable case. Mr. Bailey and Mr. Drew returned their most sincere thanks to the Lord Mayor for the kindness and anxiety which his Lordship had manifested on the occasion ; but they could not help making one remark : they felt that Captain Carr had not done what it was his duty to have done--that he had not offered ransom for the unfortunate creatures who might be on the island. The LORD MAYOR again called upon the gentlemen to think of the responsibilities of Captain Carr as to any forcible attempt, and, as for ransom they could not tell that be had it to offer. Captain Carr—l offered it for the child. Money could have been of no use ; besides, the novelty and embarrass ment of the situation was a bar. Mr. Worthington—lt is admitted that very little in ducement would have prevailed upon them to give up the Europeans, for the value of money is not known there ; and certainly there can be no doubt that it was Captain Carr's duty to offer ransom, which possibly could have been satis factorily made up of a few trifles. Captain Carr—lf you had been there you would have acted as I have done. I have written to all the authorities that can render benefit, and I have no doubt of hearing soon. I shall be round there mjself very soon. I feel for the relations and friends of the unfortunate persons who have been the subject of this inquiry, and I solemnly declare that I acted for the best. Mr. Worthington—lt was decidedly your duty to offer ransom for these poor creatures. We speak not of any hostile attack at all. It is evident that nothing of the kind would have been necessary. The parties then left the Mansion House. BOTV-STREET. Yesterday an elderly man, attired in a military cloak, and having altogether the appearance of a gentleman, was placed at the bar, charged by a young man' named Luke WiMama, on suspicion of having picked his pocket of a silk handkerchief, value ss. The defendant, when put to the bar, said his name was Richard Rolfe. Mr. Williams was a clerk to a solicitor, and resided at Union-terrace, Bagnigge-wells-road. About twelve o'clock that (yesterday) morning, he was standing at the large pic ture-shop at the corner of Southampton -street, Strand, where there were several others standing, and feeling a tug at his pocket, he felt and found that his handkerchief, which he knew was safe in his Left-hand coat-pocket a few minutes before, was gone. He turned quickly round, and seeing the defendant, who was the only person standing within reach on his left-hand side, at once accused him of having stolen his handkerchief. The defendant denied the fact, observing, " I have no property of your's." The witness persisted in the accusation, and the defendant said he would accompany him anywhere. A crowd had begun to collect, and they walked together until they came to Tavistock street, where they met police constable Mitchell, of the F division, to whom witness gave the defendant in charge for felony, and he was taken to the station-house, and from thence brought to this office. Mr. Hurls asked if he was searched ? Mitchell, the constable, searc h e d t h e d e f en d ant at t h e stat i on -h ouse, b ut found no handkerchief upon him. Mr. H ALL s asked Mitchell which he did not search him the moment he had him given into charge ? Mitchell did not think it necessary. Mr. HALLS slid the constable had acted very wrong in not doing so. He (Mr. H.) had repeatedly found occasion to complain of the system adopted by many of the police in not searching persons at once who were given in custody on charges of felony. Mitchel saw a crowd gathering, and thought it best to tz,ke the defendant at once to the station-house, and search him there. Mr. HALLS said this was a strange mistake on the part of an officer. A person charged with felony ought to un dcr,go a search on the spot. Mitchell endeavoured to excuse himself by stating that he took care to watch the defendant on the way, so that he could not have dropped the handkerchief without his perceiving it. Mr. HALLS said that did not at all alter his opinion of the manner in which the duty of a constable ought to be performed. The worthy Magistrate then asked the defen dant what he had to say to the charge % Mr. Rolfe denied the charge altogether ; the complainant was entirely mistaken. Mr. lIALLs- I MaTI ask who and what you are? Mr. Rolfe—l am an independent gentleman, living on my property, and have the honour of moving in the best so ciety. It cannot be supposed that I would run the risk of beir:g placed in this situation for the sake of a paltry pocket-handkerchief. I was indignant at the charge, but consented to walk away with the complainant, because I did not choose to incur the chance of being followed, and perhaps insulted, by a mob. Mr. HALLS said there was not the slightest ground of charge against him, and he need not remain at the bar another moment. The defendant then bowed and retired. Mr. Williams himself was convinced now of his own mistake, although an impression of the opposite kind was upon his mind at the time, and he regretted that the de fendant should have been inconvenienced.—The subject then dropped. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A great commotion was on Thursday afternoon occa sioned by circumstances which are likely to afford matter for the gentlemen of the long robe. Some time ago an Irish widow, possessing property left her by her deceased husband of the value of 900/. per annum, married a young man of respectable connections. The parties resided at Egham, but disagreements having arisen, the lady about three months ago suddenly left her home—a circumstance alluded to in the public papers through the medium of a mysterious paragraph. The husband having obtained information that his wife was tra velling about in company with a male friend, took measures accordingly. The lady, her sister, and the " friend," were traced to the Boar and Castle, Oxford -street, and the hus band having received ocular demonsfration that the " friend" and his wife were on very social terms, ran up stairs, burst open the door, and knocked his proxy down. The wife and sister, without bonnets or shawls, ran out of the house, towards Tottenham-court-road, pursued by the husband, and they were obliged to take shelter in a shop, about which a large concourse of persons speedily assembled. The friend in the meantime went • to the lady's solicitor, and having procured his assistance, walked with him towards Tottenham-court-road. The en raged husband having again caught sight of him, ran up to him and knocked him down. The friend retreated into a butcher's shop, and pulled out a pistol, which he presented against the husband, and threatened to shoot him if he continued his violence. The husband nothing daunted, seized a cleaver, and disregarding the me nace, again knocked his wife's friend down. The friend at length got away with the loss of his hat and umbrella, and with a sound drubbing. In the evening the wife, accom panied by her sister and her solicitor, drove to this office for the purpose of exhibiting articles of the peace against her husband, and this proceeding having been made known to the husband, he made his appearance at the office in time to answer the charge before the sitting Magistrates, Mr. Conant and Mr. Hall. The wife appeared to be about 40, and the husband about 27. Mr. Williams, solicitor, No. 31, Alfred-place, Bedford square, attended for the wife. The defendant gave the name of Charles Calverly, and the wife, after being sworn, was proceedinc , to state her complaint, when her husband accused her of having eloped from his house. Th e w ife replied it was false—she had been turned out of her home. _ Here the lady began to sob, and the solicitor came for ward and volunteered an explanation. He said the lady bad just returned from France, to which place she had gone in consequence of her husband's ill usage. He was con ducting some law proceedings for her against her husband, and as a cause in the Court of Chancery was expected to come on next week, he had sent for her to be present. The lady arrived that morning, and put up at the Boar and Castle Tavern. The husband, and a person with him (Mr. Owen, his father-in-law), broke into the room—com mitted great violence, and forced the ladies to run into the street without cap or bonnet, and to take refuge in a cellar. In that situation they sent for him, as their professional adviser. Wife—When we lived at Egham my husband said he would be the death of me. Husband--You are cohabiting with a fellow. Wife—lt's false. Husband—Your Worship, I caught her at the inn with her paramour. She eloped with him. Wife—lt's false, by heavens! Why did you oblige me to leave my home ? Solicitor—This lady had a large property from her former husband, whose will I made. lam the sole trustee. This person got hold of her, and I am obliged to protect her property. The Sister was called forward and sworn.—She was up stairs at the time the defendant entered the inn, and on hearing her sister scream she ran down stairs, and saw her husband scuffling in the room. Witness and her sister ran into the street, and called police. Solicitor—l have an injunction to prevent the defendant from selling his wife's property ; his conduct is, in conse quence, so violent that she goes in danger of her life. Mr. CONANT-If the husband had good and correct in formation that his wife was living in adultery, it would, I think, justify him. Husband—l found her with the fellow in the room. They were sitting on the sofa. Mr. CONANT (to the sister)—Was this man whom the husband suspects in the room at the time ?—Sister—There was a gentleman there. Father-in-law---It was the same man, and I saw him with his arm round Mrs. Calverly's neck. Wife—My husband turned me out of the house, and Capt. Courtnay came to me. Husband—You ran off with him. Why is this " Cap tain," as you call him, not here now ? He is the fellow I assaulted. I didn't touch you. Here the parties began to wrangle together, and some words not very complimentary passed between them. The Solicitor, who appeared to exhibit more than com mon professional warmth in the matter, told one of the in dividuals that he would knock him down if he had him in the street. Mr. CONANT told the Solicitor he was making himself a partizan, and not acting as a legal odviser. The Solicitor rel lied he had been insulted, and he had given way to his feelings. Mr. CONANT (to the father-in-law)—How came you to see this Captain with his arm round the wife's neck ? Father-in-law—The door was partly open. Mr. CONANT (to the husband) —Why not prosecute this man, if he has acted criminally with your wife ? Husband—Because I cannot find him. My wife and he are travelling about together from place to place, and it was only this morning they came to town. It was my chief study to make my wife happy when we lived at Egham. Wife—You knocked me down three or four times there. The sister stated that Mrs. Calverly had been ill-treated by her husband. The parties again got to high words, amidst the din of which the Magistrates consulted, and came to the deter mtnation of ordering the husband to find one bail to keep the peace till the next session. Bail having been immediately procured, the parties quit ted the office. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Frederick Poynter Paul and George Crow, two young men of respectable appearance, were brought before Mr. TRAILL, charged with stealing upwards of 200/. worth of furniture and other articles, the property of Mary Cooksley. The former prisoner is an attorney, and son of a gentleman who served the office of Mayor of Canterbury; and the latter prisoner has been what is termed a general agent. A witness. stated that he was employed by the prisoners to pledge the various articles now produced, consisting of mahogany chairs, beds, looking-glasses, pictures, &c., all of which were identified by the complainant as her property, and to have been taken under the circumstances above mentioned. The prisoners were fully committed. The first lecture of the Islington Literary and Sci entific Society was delivered on Thursday evening, to a crowded audience, of which a great portion consisted of ladies. Mr. Sheridan Knowles, in tracing the rise of the drama, was most happy in his illustrations, and was re ceived with enthusiasm. It is not generally known that a juvenile painting by the celebrated Wilkie is in the possession of a gentle man of Cupar, who purchased it for ten guineas a short time, since. it is said to be the very first essay of this great master. The brief history of the production is this : '‘ Wilkie, during his pastime from school hours, was ever exercising his genius in the rudiments of that art in which he was he was destined to hold so unrivalled a place, and, from the chalking out of anything, however trivial, that struck his fancy, he at last took for his subject a boy lead ing a ,grev horse to water." This is the painting now alluded to. The Grey Horse was originally sported as a sign-board to a tavern at Flolekettle-bridge, latterly as such in Cupar. and it finally came into-the possession of its present owner.

Two curious circumstances are related by the Salem Gazette as evidence of the dryness and coldness of the pre sent season. A peat meadow, back of Chapman's Tavern, in Salem, on the old Boston road, has been burning nearly a fortnight, until several acres have been consumed. A part of the meadow had been planted with potatoes, which have been destroyed. In some instances they have been taken from the ground roasted, in a state perfectly fit for eating. The fire took place from the burning of som e bushes at the edge of the meadow.—Boston Transcript. The magnificent suits of armour which were worn by the Dukes of Burgundy, Henry 11. of France, Francis 1., Henry I V., Sully, and Louis XIII., formerly in the gallery of the Prince de Conde, at Chantilly, have lately been placed in the Cabinet of Medals at the Royal Library. Mr. Summersgill, watchmaker, of this town, has in his possession a small circular box, formed from the two sides of a double crown silver coin, of the reign of Charles 1., on which is engraved inside the following inscription " From G. Mc. Iver to Rt. Burns For auld Langsyne 1791." The box contains a crown piece of the same reign as the double crown. Both were coined at Oxford, the the latter in the year 1642, and the former in 1643. The box and its contents were purchased at a recent sale of coins at Norfolk, but how or when they passed from the family of the Scottish bard is not known.—Preston Chron. NEWS FOR THE LADIES.—Three-fourths of the inhabitants of Cattsville, Wisconsin Territory, are males, the other fourth are married. Some merchants there offer to pay the freight of a cargo of girls, and will insure them before starting a handsome log hut each, and as much hominy and bears' meat as they can eat. All they will have to do is, to hoe corn, dig potatoes, and do the house-work in general.—New York Paper. The Chevalier Flynn, who was despatched by the King of Naples on a mission to Paris last week, is an Irish gentleman, and in right of, we think, a foreign order, is styled Sir James Flynn. SNOW STORM.—On Thursday last the thermome ter suddenly fell to the freezing point. A piercing wind blew from the north-east throughout the day, and during the evening the pools were crusted with ice. On Friday the cold was equally rigorous ; a slight drizzle of sleet fell in the morning, and in the afternoon a snow storm com menced about four o'clock, which lasted till eight in the evening, covering the streets to the depth of six or eight inches. A keen frost succeeded the fall, which rendered the streets extremely slippery and dangerous to walk upon. Saturday the frost-wind continued, and the whole face of the country presented an unbroken desert of snow — a truly dismal sight at this season of the year, especially while so much of the harvest still remains exposed to the contingencies of the weather. There can be no doubt that the potato crops will suffer greatly from the severe frost. Such a storm in the month of October is, as far as we re collect, quite unprecedented in this country.—Scotsman. The alterations in the House of Commons are rapidly approaching towards completion. The library is to be considerably enlarged by taking in the Sergeant-at-Arms and Ushers' rooms, the new apartments for whom are con structing in Palace-yard. The French Parliamentary do replace those consum e d, h ave arr i ve d f rom cuments, to France. A gentleman of large landed property in this county has declared his intention of requiring all his tenants keep ing beer-shops to give them up, under pain of notice to quit, and he has given directions for clauses to be inserted in all leases which he may hereafter grant, prohibiting the lessee to keep a beer or spirit shop.--gonmouth Paper. THE REVOLT AT STRASBURG. The following biographical sketches will be read with in terest at the present moment : Colonel Vaudry was in 1830 only Lieutenant-Colonel. It is stated that the fact of his having raised his sabre against his superior officer obtained him the rank of Colo nel under the Ministry of Marshal Gerard, but it was long before he could find a regiment willing to be commanded by him. He was then sent on a mission to Corsica, and subsequently he was appointed to the 4th regiment of artil lery. Colonel Vaudry has always been a violent character, and difficult to manage. Commandant Parquin—The Emperor Napoleon was at a review when a young Lieutenant of cavalry, after his re giment had been inspected, dismounted, and placed himself at the end of the line in front. The Emperor was struck with the commanding person and fine countenance of this young officer, to whom a wound in the upper lip had given a peculiarly martial expression. Napoleon, in his abrupt style, asked him who he was, and what he wanted. The answer was, "29 years of age, 11 years of service, 11 cam paigns, the life of a Marshal saved, and three standards taken from the enemy—l demand the cross." The cross was g iven. This officer was Charles Parquin. At the se cond Restoration he had attained the rank of Captain, and the Duke de Feltre, Minister of War, gave him the com mand of the company of chasseurs of the Cantal, of which M. Lauriston, jun., was Colonel. Captain Parquin never disguised his infatuated attachment to Napoleon, and, con sequently, has been involved in several conspiracies. In one of these conspiracies an unknown hand sent him the uni form of a Chef d'Escadron, but he had the prudence not to yield to this invitation. He was not so prudent at Stras burgh, where, no doubt, he was dazzled by the epaulettes of a General Officer. Since 1830, he was nominated a Chef d'Escadron of the Municipal Guard of Paris. He is brother to one of the most distinguished advocates of the French bar. Lieutenant-General Baron Voirol was born a few leagues from Neufchatel, in Switzerland. When 18 years of age he was in a commercial house at Basle ; but his military ar dour was irresistible, and he set out one day for Huningen, where he enlisted in a French regiment as a grenadier. In a few years, from his courage and merit, he rose to the rank of Colonel. In 1814 he had the command of a regi ment of infantry at Nogent-sur-Seine, at the moment when the town was invested by the allied troops. Count de Bour mont, then General of Brigade, was at Nogent wounded, and sent orders to Col. Voirol to evacuate the place, as it was im possible to resist superior forces in an open town. The Colonel replied that he should only obey the dictates of his own courage and duty, and would defend Nogent until his last cartridge was exhausted, as he had promised the Marshal Duke de Bellune, who was the Commander-in-Chief of that corps of the army. The enemy arrived, and, with a few hundred men, the Colonel resisted, for three days, an army of 15,000 men. This defence was reckoned a pro digy. The Emperor was so much struck with it that he inquired who was the General. Bourmont was named, and, notwithstanding Napoleon's prejudice against him, he was appointed General of Division. Colonel Voirol's name was not mentioned, he having obtained the command of the regiment only a few hours before ; while the Colonel, who had preceded him, was promoted to the rank of Gene ral of Brigade. The Emperor rep a ired this error during the Hundred Days, but it was too late. In 1815 he destroyed under the walls of Strasburg, an Austrian division with a single infantry regiment. From this period he has been held in h;gli esteem by the inhabitants of the town. The Revolution of July found General Voirol at Marseilles, in command of the reserve of the army of Africa. He was sent to Nismes as Commandant of the sub-division of the Guard ; and that Nismes was not involved in blood in 1830 was owing to his influence over the Protestants, of whose reli gion he is, and more so to the confidence his upright charac ter inspired in the Catholics. When the people wished to throw down the crosses, and the hatred and animosity of three ages standing between the Catholics and Protestants was revived, General Voirol protected with his body one of the crosses threatened. Some days after the General sent in pursuit of the too-famous Quatretaillons of Uzes a com pany of Voltigeurs, commanded by Capt. Gaillard ; and this assassin of 1815, after a vigorous resistance, dyed the waters of the Rhone with his blood. Thus the system of rapine just recommenced was stopped. From Nismes, Gen Voirol was called to take the military command at Toulon, where he received a despatch from Marshal Ge rard, appointing him to lead the vanguard of the army sent against Antwerp. He returned from Belgium with the rank of Lieut.-General. Since that period he was sent to Algiers with the title of Commander of the Forces and In spector-General of Infantry ; but he governed the colony for two years only, during which time he conciliated the good will of the natives, as well as obtained the gratitude of the French. On his departure he received the most flattering and well-merited testimonies. A gold medal was presented to him by the FrenCh colonists, and the Arabs offered him arms of honour manufactured within their camp. ' Being appointed a few months ago to the command of the fifth military division, he has proved himself to remain, as he has ever been, without fear and without reproach. Lord and Lady Maynard are gone to Dover, where his Lordship has taken a house until Christmas. Lady Wenlock, relict of the late Peer, has arrived at Caniveil Hall, Staffordshire, from Bifrona, the seat of her sister, the Dowager Marchioness Conyngham. The English Peerage of Wenlock is now extinct ; the late Lord, for merly Sir Robert Lawley, who died in Italy in the spring of 1834, not having left any issue ; but the Baronetcy de scended to his brother, Sir Francis Lawley, Bart. Lord and Lady Carrington have arrived at Deal Castle, near Walmer, where they are entertaining a select party. Earl and Countess Cowper and family arrived in George-street yesterday, from the baths of Nassau. His Lordship has - derived considerable benefit from the use of the waters. The Noble family were accompanied during their teur by Dr. J. Lilburn, of Bruton-struet. Lord Melbourne and Lord John Russell will return to town on Tuesday morning, from Holkham Hall, to at tend the Lord Mayor's dinner, at Guildhall, the follow- 10a (I'l}'. Sr John and Lady Johnstone have been entertain ing a party at Hackness Park, Scarborough. The Arch bishop of York, and Captain and Mrs- Harcourt, from Bishopsthorpe Palace, have been visiting the Hon. Bart. . . _ Lord Kinnaird has been entertaining, with true Scotch hospitality, a large party at his scat, Inchtire, in Perthshire. The guests have been numerous, and the at tentions of the Noble host unremitting. The Earl and Countess of Jersey will entertain a select number of visitors next month, at Middleton Park. Prince Esterhazy, the Duke of Wellington, Earl Rossiya, Marquis Douro, Hon. Capt. and Mrs. Villiers are expected to be of the circle. From a Quebec Paper received this morning, of the 3d October :—" The House of Assembly this day, at one o'clock, presented their Address to the Governor-in-Chief, to which his Excellency returned the following answer : " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly : For the portions of the Address which are directed to me personally, I cannot but thank you ; at the same time, my sense of public duty, and the warm interest I take in the welfare of the province, compel me frankly to express to you my deep regret at the conclusion to which you have come. The determination you express, never to resume your functions under the existing Constitution, virtually de prives the country of a domestic Legislature, and places it in a situation in which the greatest embarrassment must be felt, until a remedy can be applied by the Supreme Autho rity of the empire. Your Address shall be transmitted to England, without delay." MONEY-MARKET, FRIDAY EVENING.—It iS understood, that both on Wednesday and yesterday the discounts at the Bank were on a large scale, and that the directors have dealt liberally with the trading interest in all cases where confidence could with propriety be placed. For the present, too, the pressure on the Exchequer-bill market seems to be suspended, so that evidence is afforded in two ways of our getting into a safer position. A new cause of uneasiness, however, as regards the future action on the currency, has sprung up out of the state of the corn trade, as large importations of grain would tend to de range it under any circumstances, and at present there are causes enough acting against it which it is difficult enough, without new embarrassments, to control. On this part of the subject it is impossible to obtain any opinion in the city that is of much value. There are very good judges of the question who confidently predict a large importation in the spring of next year, and treat it, indeed, as inevitable ; but this is a very wide matter to deal with, and equally confident predictions have been made in former seasons which were followed by no such result. Our own impres sion is, that the extent of this danger is rather over rated, and, being at all events a distant one, for which, when it arises, some corrective from the general state of trade may arise with it, no great weight ought to be attached to it in estimating our present situation.—Times. GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—We have just seen a letter from Dr. Guthrie, of the Opthalmic Hospital, Charing-cross, to Mr. Grimstone, in which the most satis factory testimony is afforded of the great benefit derived by the patients of that Institution, labouring under obstinate chronic opthalmia, opacity of the cornea, and other dis eases of the visual organ, from the use of Mr. Grimstone's Herbaceous Eye Snuff. Dr. Guthrie has requested Mr. Grimstone to make arrangements for supplying the really indigent patients of the Institution with the Eye Snuff, at a reduced price ; and we understand the latter has, with the most praiseworthy and humane promptitude, complied with Dr. Guthrie's request. The letter of this celebrated oculist furnishes another proof of the extraordinary efficacy of this preparation. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Yesterday a number of experiments were tried with a view of testing the alterations made in the interior of the present temporary House of Commons, under the super intendence of Dr. Reid, of Edinburgh, with a view of improving it as regards ventilation, but more espe cially as regards the transmission of sound. It is well known that constant complaints were made during the last as well as the preceding Session of Parliament of the difficulty of hearinr , in the House of Commons, in conse quence of which a'Committee was appointed to investigate the subject, with a view of providing a remedy. After ex amining a number of scientific witnesses, and amongst others Mr. Faraday, Mr. Brande, Sir Robert Smirke, Dr. Birkbeck, and Dr. Reid, the Committee recommended that the alterations suggested by the latter gentleman should be submitted to the test of actual experiment, as the only means of ascertaining with accuracy, the soundness of the principles laid down in the evidence, and also their useful application to the future House of Commons. Dr. Reid is Professor of Chemistry at Edinburgh, and has paid consi derable attention to the subject of ventilating and warming large public buildings, as well as to the practical application of acoustics to the construction of large buildings. Imme diately at the close of the last Session the proposed altera tions were commenced, and, having now been nearly com pleted, the result was yesterday exhibited to a number of Members of Parliament, and other persons connected with the House, and, for the purpose of givint , effect to the experiments in a " full House," a detachment of the Grenadier Guards, 420 in number, occupied the seats in the back-rows in the body of the House, and the Members' Galleries. Since the days of Cromwell so im posing an array of military men has not been witnessed within the walls of the House of Commons. In the pre sent case, however, the soldiers were without their arms, and obeyed the orders of the Radical Member for Lam beth, Mr. Hawes, who took the Chair, with a precision and decorum which would have shamed the ordinary occupants. The alterations which have taken place in the House since last Session are most extensive. The roof has been considerably lowered, or rather a skylight framework has been made a short distance below the base of the upper windows, and after slanting at an angle of from 20 to 25 degrees for about one-third of the breadth of the house on each side, it becomes horizontal for the remaining portion. This framework is glazed throughout with windows of a variety of shapes, which was done with the view of prevent ing the sound collecting in various foci. The reporters' gallery has been lowered about two feet, and been brought forward into the body of the House, and the front of it is now nearly on a level with the back of the Speaker's chair. It is not of greater depth than it was before, as the back part has also been brought forward ; of course the slanting roof extends over it as over the body of the House. The wooden screen at the back of the Speaker's chair has also been considerable lowered, and has a very modest appear ance in comparison with what it formerly had. The screen is hollow, and covered with canvass braced tightly like a drum for the purpose of strengthening and reflecting back the Speaker's voice. The strangers' gallery has also been lowered, and the ceiling above it is now but a short distance over the heads of those sitting in it. There has been no material al terial in the arrangement of the seats in the body of the House. The floor of the House, as well as the floors of the galleries, have a most singular appearance, having been pierced throughout with small holes of about the third of an inch in diameter, and about an inch and a half apart. We were told that the number of these vent-holes was not less t han three hundred and eighty thousand. The canvass which formerly covered the walls of the House has been removed, and thin boards of wood been substituted in the place thereof ; by this means more body is given to the voice, and at the same time less effort is required to sustain the voice at a proper pitch in a long speech. At the ex terior, on one side of the House, a lofty chimney has been erected, for the purpose of aiding in the proper ventilation of the House. This is to be effected by taking advantage of a current, which is determined by means of a column of heated air. Dr. Reid described at length the nature of the process which he had adopted for the ventilation of the House. It was known to most persons that every indivi dual respired about 1,000 times within the hour, and it was also asserted that the surface of the lungs was equal to 15 times the surface of the body. The importance of proper and abundant ventilation was thus manifest from the vast preparations which nature had made for ventilating the human frame ; and in order that those in the galleries of the House might not respire the air which had been pre viously used by the Members below, an apparatus was continued by which air was conducted from beneath the floor to the galleries, of the same temperature as that sup plied to the body of the House. In the first place, the air is taken from one great aperture, and after being pre pared to the required temperature, it is broken in its impetus by means of plates termed distributors, and is sent into the body of the House through the numerous minute holes we have just alluded to. The great advantage of introducing the fresh air at a regulated temperature is that the air already once respired is at once carried away, and the atmosphere is never of that oppres sive character which is often met with in some build ings where there are large assemblages of persons, and where the respired air is not really carried off. By means of the great number of small holes a more regular temperature is diffused throughout the House, and the in convenience arising from currents of air is altogether got rid of. Dr. Reid also alluded to the advantage of lowering the roof of the House ; a lofty room is generally preferred, because from the mass of air present a long time is neces sarily required to contaminate it ; but when prolonged de bates are carried on, the cause which prevents its being contaminated at first renders it extremely difficult to ventilate the room when the air is vitiated. In less elevated apartments, however, a stream of air of a proper temperature may be made to rise slowly but continually from the floor to the top of the inclined roof, to be removed thence by the ventilator. The whole of the ventilating apparatus is under precise control, so as to adapt the currents to the varying circumstances of the place—in short, any change from hot to cold can be effected upon the currents at a momentary notice. The regulation is effected in the most simple manner by one person, who, at a moment's warning, can open or close the valves. The effect of the ventilating apparatus was then tried, first upon a small scale in a glass model of the build ing, and afterwards in the House itself, to show the man ner in which the air was supplied and carried off by the ventilators. Dr. Reid sent a quantity of smoke through the pipes below the flooring, with which every part of the House, including the reporters' and strangers' gallery was almost simultaneously filled. The smoke rose gradually to the roof, and was carried off by means of the ventilators through the chimney. The House was afterwards filled in a similar manner with the fumes of mtller and various per fumes, and it was ascertained that the average time occu pied in diffusing the odorous matter through every part of the House was one minute and a half. The effect was most satisfactory, and we have no doubt that even during the most prolonged debates, and when the House is crowded to the utmost, there will be no complaints made as to the ven tilation. The only evil that probably will arise will be that on such occasions the House may sit to a much later hour than it would otherwise do, in consequence of its agreeable temperature. In such cases it was suggested that the smoke might be applied very judiciously, and that it would empty the House as effectually as one of Colonel Sib thorpe's speeches. Dr. Reid then proceeded to allude to the alterations that had made with a view of improving the transmission of sound throughout the House. We have not space to go into this part of the subject, further than to observe that the voice of Dr. Reid was distinctly heard at every part of the building when speaking in a conver sational tone. He spoke from various parts of the House, but his observations were distinctly audible. On one occa sion, however, while making some observations at the back end under the gallery, it was remarked by the persons at the back seat of the gallery immediately above him that they could not distinctly hear, which induced him to re mark that he had been led to fear that this would he the case : it was one reason why he strongly objected to the erection of galleries in buildings of the kind. Mr. Hawes, Mr. Sergeant Andrews, Sir G. Clerk, and several other gentlemen, read at different parts of the House extracts from the debates, which were distinctly heard at all parts of the House. The effect of cheering was then tried, and the soldiers—who seemed to be very much amused with the whole of the proceedings —gave a number of hearty and prolonged cheers. There were 540 persons present while Dr. Reid was speaking and the extracts being read, and they were requested not to be particular in keeping silence. In some cases more noise was made than is generally the case when the House is full and anxious for a division, not- withstanding which any person who spoke in a tone but slightly greater than that used in conversation could be beard. All parties present appeared to be perfectly satis fied with the result of Dr. Reid's experiments. The tem perature of the House during the experiments, which lasted nearly two hours, ranged between 60 and 62 Fahrenheit. Lord Henry Seymour is actively engaged in com pleting a new company, for establishing a cheap and expe ditious line of stage-coach and other conveyance between the French coast and Paris. It is expected to commence operations at Boulogne early next spring, with superior Euglish horses, &c. A. number of carriages are already built, and the plan is patronised by the French Government. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria have resumed their promenades on the pier at Ramsgate. Their Royal Highnesses were joined on Tuesday by the Earl of Roden and Lord and Lady Barham, and appeared much interested in the numerous ships with which the har bour was crowded. The Lord Bishop of Winchester will hold an ordi nation on the 11th of December. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET MEETING.—YESTERDAr. Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sous each. D.M. 5 Subs.

MANUFACTURES.—The cotton manufactures in the west of Scotland are exceedingly brisk, it being found hardly possible to execute all the orders received at New Lanark ; a mill burnt down in 1819 has been rebuilt, and a water-wheel 36 feet in diameter is making to drive the ma chinery. All the ironworks are in full operation, and in general the manufactures of all kinds were never in greater activity. BRIGHTON-FRIDAY• This morning, at twelve o'clock, their Majesties took a drive in a carriage and four, preceded by outriders. li!r Majesty has not been out till this day since she arrived in Brighton.
